Pros and cons of Blux Lens app for iPhone and iPad

Blux Lens app good for

Helps cause you dont having to touch the phone to snap a pic. Im sure updates will be coming soon.
Now I got remote control for this cool camera. Its gonna change the way we take pics. Lets dig out more fun!

Some bad moments

This app speaks of a great concept but promises more than it actually delivers. It can only work if remote distance is between your left and right arms. Here are the immediate limitations that will prevent much usefulness: 1. Runs hot on iPhone and consumes battery 2. Connection is broken anytime camera app goes to background or sleep 3. Must physically return to remote lens to reconnect with QR code. No other way to connect other than QR code 4. Cannot remember existing connections 5. Remote discovery and connection is not supported.
It would be more useful if the lens could store to full resolution on the lens camera device as well as send the low resolution of the Camera Pro device. Current resolution is 1600x1200 max.
Shuts down as soon as you take a photo and does not save it anywhere.If its not ready yet why are you selling it. I would like a refund. Great idea though.
I have a Iphone 6s and Ipad 2, when you need to take a picture the connection is broken and you need to go back to your device to scan QR code...I would like a refund this application most be banned.
First, its missing a key feature - self timer, so you can put down the second device before the picture is taken - otherwise, great, its a picture of yourself holding another iOS device...not great. Self timer in Blux camera is disabled in remote mode - I have no idea why. Perhaps put the timer in Blux Lens so you have the delay allowing you to put down the other iOS deivce. And secondly - the pictures taken arent saved - anywhere...which completely defeats the purpose. Save your money. Its only .99 but its now .99 I wish I could get back......
Not full resolution. Saves to 5MP. The iPhone 5 shoots in 8. No settings for it.
